The Delhi high court has closed the petition of Bollywood actor Celina Jaitly, who was seeking directions to facilitate interaction with her brother Vikrant Jaitly, detained in the UAE for over 18 months.
The court noted Vikrant's wish to not communicate with his sister and said that the Centre had been providing legal assistance and looking after his well-being.
Additional Solicitor General Chetan Sharma told the court that Vikrant was unwilling to be represented by any law firm, including the one chosen by his sister, and had said that decisions regarding legal representation would be taken solely by his wife, Charul.
The court also said that the Indian Embassy in Abu Dhabi had been in active contact with Vikrant and had interacted with him nine times since his detention.
The bench directed the Centre to continue providing legal assistance to Vikrant and look after his well-being.
